Paper Keywords: China traditional festivals China traditional culture and cultural spirit Abstract: China traditional festivals, as a behavioral aspect of traditional culture, are rooted in China's ancient farming culture, and have formed their own unique cultural connotation in the long-term spread process, reflecting strong cultural cohesion and vitality, and sometimes even linked with cultural spirit and national spirit, which plays a very important role in the process of social development. With the popularity of foreign festivals, especially western festivals, in China, young people are keen on Valentine's Day and Christmas, downplaying some necessary customs in traditional festivals in China, such as going home during the Spring Festival, sweeping graves in Tomb-Sweeping Day, eating zongzi on the Dragon Boat Festival and enjoying the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival. Recently, the General Office of the State Council issued a notice announcing the adjustment of national legal holidays, and made clear that three traditional programs, namely Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, are legal holidays. The author believes that this move is undoubtedly timely and has practical significance. As a traditional culture at the behavioral level, China traditional festivals are rooted in the ancient farming culture in China. In the long-term communication process, through the agreement on the relationship between heaven and man, self-esteem, righteousness and interests, it has formed its own unique cultural connotation, which embodies strong cultural cohesion and vitality, and is also related to the spirit of Chinese culture and the spirit of the Chinese nation, which is of great significance in the process of social development. China 1 The cultural connotation of traditional festivals is symbols, values and norms shared by human beings, a nation or a group of people, which are essentially linked with humanization. Primitive people drill wood for fire, slash and burn, worship nature, totem, ancestors and gods; In patriarchal society, people pay attention to respecting the old and loving the young, the relationship between people and blood relatives, and the rule of ethics. In various historical stages, people worship their ancestors, visit Yue Bai, go hiking, climb mountains, and break willows to exorcise evil spirits ... With the origin, evolution and development of human beings, human behaviors and concepts are increasingly enriched and cultural connotations are gradually deepened. If some behaviors and ideas become habitual stereotypes of most people, they become a custom, and some customs exist in the form of festivals or folk customs. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than 200 national, local and ethnic traditional festivals in China, the most important of which are Spring Festival, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival, Chinese Valentine's Day, Mid-Autumn Festival and Double Ninth Festival. The author takes these six traditional festivals as examples to explain their cultural connotations. 1. 1 China's traditional programs are rooted in China's ancient farming culture, and natural conditions and geographical environment determine that early China was dominated by farming economy. People invented farm tools, cultivated new crops, formulated a series of agricultural systems, formed some farming customs, and created farming poems and various figures, all of which are the embodiment of farming culture. The traditional festivals in China are rooted in the ancient farming culture in China. According to historical records, the Spring Festival was called "in" in Tang Yu, "in Xia Dynasty" and "in Zhou Dynasty". "Load", "year" and "year" all refer to the growth cycle of grain. Millet is cooked once a year, so the Spring Festival is once a year, which means to celebrate the harvest. Another way of saying about the Spring Festival is that it originated in La Worship at the end of primitive society. At that time, whenever spring came, our ancestors slaughtered pigs and sheep, sacrificed ghosts and ancestors, and prayed for good weather in the new year to avoid disaster. Tomb-Sweeping Day was originally one of the 24 solar terms. At this time, the climate in most parts of China is warm and the vegetation is lush, and agriculture is busy with spring ploughing and sowing. There is an agricultural proverb in the south of the Yangtze River that describes Qingming as follows: "Qingming is connected with Grain Rain, so soaking seeds and ploughing can't be delayed" and "afforestation can't be too Qingming". About the origin of Mid-Autumn Festival, there is a saying that it is the legacy of Qiu Bao. Because the 15th day of the eighth lunar month happens to be the time when rice is ripe, people drink and dance in this season to celebrate the harvest with joy. The Double Ninth Festival is the official harvest season in northern Shaanxi ... From the origin of traditional festivals, most of them are for farming purposes. Although some festivals dilute the impression of farming in the process of communication, it is certain that traditional festivals embody or are rooted in ancient farming culture. 1.2 The traditional festivals in China reflect the worship of nature in the primitive concept culture and are one of the most primitive forms of ancestor worship. Nature here mainly refers to the sun, the moon, the earth and other natural objects. It is recorded in "Local Records" that "in midsummer, corn millet (a female) is cooked in the Dragon Boat Festival", and people pick palm leaves and wrap palm seed in the Dragon Boat Festival to worship plants. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, ancient nobles and scholars would watch and worship the bright and round moon in the sky, pinning their feelings, worshipping and appreciating the moon all reflected their worship of the moon. Sacrificing ancestors during the Spring Festival and sweeping graves by Tomb-Sweeping Day are the worship of ancestors. Totem worship is a more advanced religious form. Primitive ancestors thought that there was a special intimate relationship between their clan and some animal, plant or inanimate object, and regarded it as the object of clan worship. The custom of dragon boat race appeared long before Qu Yuan, which reflects people's worship of dragon totem. "Dragon Boat Festival Examination" Mr. Wen Yiduo said: "The custom of rowing dragon boats existed in wuyue water town more than 1000 years ago. Its purpose is to pray for avoiding common floods and droughts by offering sacrifices to dragon totems. The day of sacrifice is the Dragon Boat Festival, and it is an important part of the' Dragon Sacrifice' to compete for ships engraved with dragons in the waters. " 1.3 The traditional festivals in China reflect the characteristics of ancient patriarchal culture. China has been in a patriarchal society for a long time. Under the patriarchal clan system, people attach importance to blood relationship, pay attention to ethics, respect the old and love the young, and distinguish between the noble and the humble. A series of requirements under the patriarchal clan system have found a good support in traditional festivals. Sacrificing ancestors to sweep graves during the Spring Festival, putting people in blood relationship, embodies a kind of "humane kiss". "The Book of Rites" explains "the kiss of humanity" in this way: "Pro-ancestor, pro-ancestor, pro-ancestor, and clan kinship". In this way, the whole family is linked by blood. There are strict rituals for ancestor worship, grave sweeping, Yue Bai and mountain climbing. Cui Ti's Moon Order for Four describes the ancestor worship during the Spring Festival in this way: "The first day of the first month is the right day. Bow to your wife and worship your ancestors. On the day of worship, when drinking wine, the family members are humble, regardless of size, ranking second in the ancestors. Children and daughters-in-law all serve Chili wine to their parents, saying that they are beaming. " Through a series of fixed ceremonies, the "respect"-the difference between honor and inferiority, and the difference in rank is also related to blood relationship. Through the kinship ties in traditional festivals, respect and affection are linked together, and the whole society has realized the transformation from "family world" to "national world", forming a isomorphic pattern of family and country. The cultural spirit of traditional festivals in China is a thought and concept with positive significance in traditional culture, which embodies the national spirit of self-improvement. Traditional festivals in China embody the cultural spirit of loyalty, patriotism, vigor, self-improvement, harmony between man and nature, and advocating beauty. It is precisely because of these cultural spirits that some customs in traditional festivals and festivals in China have been preserved and observed after thousands of years, showing strong cultural vitality. 2. 1 Loyalty to the monarch and patriotism are most obvious in Tomb-Sweeping Day and the Dragon Boat Festival. This traditional cultural spirit spontaneously rose to a national spirit in the historical process and played a very important role in social development. The custom of sweeping graves in Qingming comes from the Cold Food Festival, which is said to be related to meson push in the Spring and Autumn Period. Zhong Er, the son of meson, who pushed "share splitting" to satisfy his hunger in trouble, embodies two cultural spirits of "loyalty" and "righteousness". When his son became a meson push and wanted a reward, meson push carried his mother into the mountain, showing "filial piety" In the social process of thousands of years, the Cold Food Festival and Tomb-Sweeping Day have become one, and the cultural spirit of "loyalty" and "righteousness" has also become the source of the scholar-bureaucrat spirit in China's traditional concept, which has nurtured and created countless benevolent people and heroes in China history; "Filial piety", which closely links people by blood relationship, makes a family cohesive from a small angle; Focus on the big picture and make a nation and country more cohesive. The dragon boat race on the Dragon Boat Festival is associated with the commemoration of Qu Yuan, who represents truth, goodness and beauty. It is the embodiment of patriotism and love for the people, and the commemoration of Qu Yuan embodies a sincere and patriotic cultural spirit. 2.2 Harmony between Man and Nature The most basic meaning of the idea of harmony between man and nature is to fully affirm the "harmony between man and nature" and pay attention to the coordination between human behavior and nature. Welcome guests in the Spring Festival, Qingming outing, dragon boat race, moon viewing in the Mid-Autumn Festival, star watching on the Chinese Valentine's Day and climbing on the Double Ninth Festival are all manifestations of the idea of harmony between man and nature. In addition to the harmony between man and nature, the author thinks that the most important thing is "harmony between man and nature"-heaven has lofty virtue, and man should follow the example of heaven, learn from nature and be in harmony with heaven, which is the highest realm and ideal of the thought of harmony between man and nature. As Yi Chuan Classical Chinese said: "Husband and heaven, and the sun and the moon, and the four seasons, and ghosts and gods, and good or ill luck, nature and nature, and the day after tomorrow." This understanding has influenced many people's value orientation and attitude towards life, which is consistent with the view that "being rich will help the world, while being poor will be immune to it". When the reality is frustrated, turn to nature, or retire to the mountains, or plow the fields, find fun and discover the true meaning. Some customs in traditional festivals have been diluted or disappeared in social development, but the behavior of getting close to nature has been continued, which also reflects the strong cultural vitality of the idea of harmonious coexistence between man and nature from one side. 2-3 "Harmony" means harmony and unity, and "Beauty" means happy reunion. As one of the basic spirits of China culture, the beauty of eminent monks is often manifested in traditional festivals. Although the Spring Festival refers to the first day of the lunar year, people's customary Spring Festival activities begin in the twelfth month of the first year (December of the summer calendar) and don't end until the Lantern Festival. In the twelfth lunar month, people should sweep away dust and worship the kitchen god; On New Year's Eve, the whole family will get together. Everyone will sit around and eat bread and jiaozi, and the dough will be harmonious and homophonic. Jiaozi's jiaozi and intercourse are homophonic, and harmony and intercourse mean reunion and gathering. On the Lantern Festival, the whole family will get together to eat glutinous rice balls, which expresses people's desire for a round, harmonious and beautiful life. Tanabata is a clever way to express people's desire for a happy marriage. As for eating moon cakes in the Mid-Autumn Festival, it also means a happy life and a happy marriage. Double Ninth Festival means cherishing life and living a long and healthy life. In addition, Tomb-Sweeping Day's custom of folding willows, picking mugwort leaves, calamus and Chongyang to plant dogwood all over the Dragon Boat Festival also reveals the idea of attaching importance to monks and beauty. The practical significance of traditional festivals in China, as one of the manifestations of China's traditional cultural spirit, has had a far-reaching impact on social development, both positive and negative. Generally speaking, negative customs are always short-lived, and the traditional holiday customs passed down through thousands of years of social history have profound practical significance on the whole. 3. 1 China's traditional festivals and days reflect strong cultural cohesion and national cohesion. The traditional customs of going home during the Spring Festival, visiting graves in Tomb-Sweeping Day and commemorating Qu Yuan during the Dragon Boat Festival reveal the thoughts of respecting ancestors, affection, loyalty and patriotism. These concepts are most likely to arouse people's feelings for their relatives, family, hometown and motherland, arouse people's memory of national traditional culture, identify with national spirit, and arouse people's national feelings with the same ancestry and culture. There are many proverbs in China, such as: "When one person is in trouble, everyone helps", "When a fellow villager sees another, his eyes are full of tears" and so on. These are all manifestations of the strong cohesion of traditional festival culture; Overseas Chinese returning to China to worship their ancestors and wandering in foreign countries and places are the embodiment of national cohesion in traditional festivals. Cultural cohesion and national cohesion are conducive to strengthening national unity, safeguarding national unity, deepening the affection of Chinese people around the world, and inspiring a nation and country to keep moving forward, develop and become strong. 3.2 Traditional festivals in China have built a harmonious relationship between man and nature and between people. The concept of harmonious coexistence between man and nature in traditional festivals in China provides people with opportunities to get close to and blend in with nature. In the activities of hiking, stargazing, moon viewing and climbing in the crisp autumn, people can relax, find innocence and have fun. In the activities of being close to nature, people communicate with each other, showing deep feelings for each other or family happiness, and forming a kind of interpersonal relationship of being kind to others and living in harmony. In today's world, technology and industry are increasingly developed, but many changes have taken place in the relationship between man and nature and between people, such as a series of environmental problems brought about by man's infinite conquest of nature, and the relationship between people is becoming more and more indifferent and snobbish. Now, when we re-contrast the harmonious relationship between man and nature and interpersonal problems in traditional festivals in China, we should be inspired. Fortunately, many changes in today's society have gradually attracted people's attention. In the report of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, protecting the ecological environment and building a harmonious relationship between man and society are put on the agenda, which is an affirmation of the idea of harmony between man and nature in traditional festivals. 3-3 Traditional festivals in China arouse people's yearning for beauty. In the traditional festivals in China, the customs of being close to nature (such as climbing mountains, watching stars, enjoying the moon, climbing mountains, etc. ) or longing for reunion (such as eating jiaozi and moon cakes). ) all reflect people's pursuit and yearning for beauty. Mr. Zong Baihua discussed various forms of beauty in Aesthetic Walking. There is an article in the book-Where does beauty come from? In this article, Mr. Zong pointed out that beauty comes from the soul. The author thinks that the beauty in traditional festivals mainly refers to the beauty of life. In the traditional customs of being close to nature, reuniting with family members and hoping that lovers are well, people realize the beauty of life and cherish life more. The behaviors and wishes in traditional festivals are heartfelt and full of feelings. Therefore, even if sometimes the hope cannot be realized, the ending may not be perfect. According to Mr. Zong Baihua, these behaviors and wishes are beautiful because they are from the heart. Conclusion China culture is inclusive, characterized by assimilation, integration, continuity and cohesion. In the historical process, the farming culture in the Central Plains, as the core of Chinese culture, has blended with the nomadic culture in the north, the farming culture in the southern mountainous areas and the minority cultures, and has met with foreign cultures many times. China's traditional culture is an integral part of China's culture, which should be inclusive, and traditional festivals, as a traditional culture at the behavioral level, should also be inclusive. Traditional festivals in China have a history of thousands of years. In the long-term development process, we constantly meet and collide with other cultures, and the negative things gradually die out, and the beautiful things become increasingly prominent. This is the embodiment of the strong cultural vitality and cohesion of traditional festivals. The author believes that in the encounter and collision with the foreign festivals popular in the society a few days ago, especially the western festivals, the traditional festivals in China will definitely play the usual value integration function of China culture and reach a new height.
